22 Chapter 22: Who have the most guts (1/2)

”This is rebelling against the imperial family! How could a maid throw her weight infront of his highness!” Xiao Wang Xi tried to fling away the two maids blocking his way.

”Xioa Wang Xi, let's go back.” Jiang Chen said meekly. He turn around to take another route.

With swift hands, Shen Rou took hold of the fleeting Jiang Chen again. A child as thin as Jiang Chen could not even stuggle as she tug him again. With little force, she lifted Jiang Chen by the collars.

The child cough a few times; his collars being fiercely tug and his lapels choking him.

”Aren't your highness going to apologize?” asked Shen Rou. After putting him down, she then pinch the child. ”That's not very cute Prince Chen. It was no wonder your father abandoned you here in the palace.”

Jiang Chen felt the woman's nail piercing his skin. The prickling pain it gave cannot compare to the aching words that's being spoken to him. Even so, Jiang Chen refuse to cry.

”Imprudent! You're blatantly disrespecting the prince! Aren't you afraid to be punished?!” Eunuch Wang shouted in his frustration.

”Xiao Wang,” Jiang Chen stopped him.

”This servant wonder who is Eunuch Wang going to call?” Shen Rou laughed at this pair of kids. ”Please stop threatening this servant.” she then said like she's being wrong.

”You're shameless!”

Combing the crowd; he saw how others refuse to help them. Some didn't dare to meet his eyes while others swiftly passed and dare not get involved.

Finally, at the far back, he saw a small eunuch he recognized as someone serving at the Xiang Feng Palace.

”You! Call the head eunuch! Please call him over!” he shouted.

”Xiao Wang Xi!” Jiang Chen angrily stopped his eunuch.

Xiao Wang Xi is just asking to be reprimanded by that dog!

Shen Rou turn around to look at who's Xiao Wang Xi is shouting at. She was about to go over when a fierce voice interrupted them.

”What is this commotion about?”

Imperial Consort Feng then appeared with her entourage of maidservants. She's dress with a white wide sleeves robe embroidered with bright red chrysanthemum. The contrast in color made the stubborn flower vivid and alive.

”Greetings to Imperial Consort Feng.” The servants bowed as they give way.
